Importing Budgets to QuickBooks

We frequently get asked if Transaction Pro Importer can be used to import budgets into QuickBooks. Intuit has not provided developers access to budgets via the QuickBooks SDK so unfortunately this is not something that we can add to our product.

However, you do not have to manually key this data as you can import this via an IIF file. The easiest way to do this is to export a template from QuickBooks by going through the following QuickBooks menus:

File

Utilities

Export

Lists to IIF file

Budgets

Then open up this file in Excel and you can cut and paste your budget data into this spreadsheet. When you resave the file be sure to keep the iif extension. Make a backup of your QuickBooks company file in case anything goes wrong you can revert back to this prior database. Then you can import this file by following the steps below.
